Current Alerts
Phone Spoofing Alert
Be alert to the latest fraud. Phone Spoofing means scammers use fake numbers in calls and texts and pretend to be a legitimate business that you know and trust. Remember – your bank will never call you to ask for your PIN, Online Banking login credentials, passwords, card numbers or social security numbers. If you get a suspicious call or text, ignore it or hang up and dial the company directly using their official published phone number.
Caller ID information can be faked to make it look like the call is coming from a trusted entity. If you receive a call like this from Dedham Savings, requesting confidential information, please hang up and call the Bank’s direct line, 781-329-6700, to talk to a representative to determine if the call is legitimate. Dialing a published number yourself is the best way to know you’ve reached us.
For more information on caller ID spoofing, please visit the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) web site.
